It didn’t take too long for the Hall County’s Marine Rescue 1 to speed off into action Wednesday. “I think y’all had been out there about an hour or two hours at the most and they already had their first call,” Hall County Fire Chief Jeff Hood said. Hall County Administrator Randy Knighton and Commissioner Billy Powell poured champagne on the bow of the new 23-foot rescue boat Thursday at Laurel Park.
